I'm absolutely undecided as to who I'll vote for in the primary, not that it matters because I don't live in any of the incredibly non-representative states of Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, or South Carolina.
Since way-early-on, long before he announced, I've been for Richardson. I think he's been a great governor in NM, and his foreign policy experience is unrivaled by any of the candidates, and practically any politician in the United States. He's been anti-Iraq War since day one and has made it a focal point of his campaign. But, it became clear several months ago he doesn't have a chance.
I think Edwards is incoherent and opportunistic.
Clinton is in general much too conservative for my taste, but I like her health care plan much better than anyone else's. In fact, her proposal is the only respectable one out of any major candidate's.
Biden, the poor little goof-ball, has an excellent plan for Iraq, and is a competent politician when he can get his foot out of his mouth. He also has no chance, of course. However, he's still a senator and his federalism plan may still come to fruition... we can hope.
Obama is very charismatic and I think symbolically would improve the US's image in the world. He claims to be all about change, but he doesn't have much of anything revolutionary to say.
